    Chapter 260 Clifford Digs His Own Grave


    Finished


    Even now, Clifford seemed incapable of epting the situation. His eyes darted wildly between the


    two of them.


    He was just about to say something when someone yelled, “Is Clifford there?”


    Everyone looked over and saw four burly men standing at the entrance of the swimming pool. They


    seemed vaguely familiar.


    Clifford’s head was still buzzing. As he turned his head, he saw a face that seemed vaguely familiar.


    Impatiently, he said, “Whatever it is, tell meter!”

    “Indeed, you’re here! We’re Lily’s brothers. We need to talk to you!”


    The four individuals approached him.


    Lily’s brother! Hold on… Oh no, Clifford is in deep trouble. Turns out Lily has four brothers who,


    despite their shady backgrounds, are fiercely protective of their sister. When they heard about


    Clifford ying with Lily’s feelings, they rushed over to cause trouble. These four are reckless, not


    caring about the rtionships between the wealthy families. When Lily was pursuing Clifford, he


    ignored her. But now, he not only used Lily, but also made her leave so pathetically. How could her


    brothers not seek revenge? It seems Lily hase to her senses too. Wait… Was it me who -


    sshed the alcohol just now?


    Upon hearing this, Alexander immediately sensed that something was amiss. He could see a


    certain malicious intent in the eyes of those people.


    Without drawing attention, Alexander instinctively moved Isabe behind him. He promptly called


    over a service staff. Although the other party had not made a move yet, he decided to y it safe


    and called for the security guards. It was always better to stay alert.


    However, before the security guards could arrive, the four burly men had already started to make


    their


    move.


    When the first punch came, Clifford was hit so hard that he knocked over the nearby wine table.


    Everyone screamed and scattered.


    In this situation, the four men–Rnd, Damien, Aiden, and Alexander–naturally couldn’t just stand


    by and watch. Even though their friend deserved a beating, they couldn’t stand there and let it


    happen. Even though they had managed to intervene in time, Clifford still ended up with a swollen


    and bruised face. His face had turned beet red from anger, and he was on the verge of tears.


    This particr night was an agony he could never forget in his lifetime.


    The security guards came over and restrained the other four brothers.


    The four brothers were still hurling insults at Clifford. In the end, it escted to the point where the


    police were called. Both the Deckers and Lily’s family rushed to the scene, turning the whole


    situation into a big joke.


    Naturally, the pool party hade to an end. However, the gossip hadn’t dissipated. After tonight,


    the high society would experience another shock.

    After everyone had changed into fresh clothes, they waited for their cars at the entrance of the


    nightclub.


    As ine led Zendaya away, everyone else was left somewhat bewildered.


    “They really are sisters,” said Damien.


    “ine seems quite happy.” remarked Deborah. “She even mentioned she would bring Zendaya to


    my engagement party.”


    Ines widened her eyes, her curiosity piqued. “Do you think… Clifford would dare to show up at the


    engagement party next week?”


    “I bet he won’t show up,” remarked Aiden with a tinge of skepticism.


    Rnd said, “Let’s just say that if you y with fire, you’re bound to get burned eventually. Clifford


    really dug his own grave.”


    As they were speaking, a louder discussion could be heard from the side.


    “It’s out! The Justice Upholder! The Gossip Queen of the prominent families!”


    being “It’s truly baffling. Thest time she showed up was at the Ford family’s wedding, and it


    ended up. called off. Now, it’s just a small party, yet she manages to cause such a hugemotion.


    It’s downright terrifying.”


    “No wonder her fans are absolutely smitten with her. She truly knows everything!”


    “I’m bing smitten with her. I want to gossip with her. The twists and turns today are more


    exciting than thest. It’s been a while since I attended such a thrilling gathering. I can talk about it


    for a year.


    “I really want to ask her what event she’s nning to participate in next. I want to secure my spot


    enjoy the show.”


    and


    “I don’t know if there will be other events, but there is a weddinging up that she’s definitely


    going to attend…


    Alexander’s friends nced at Isabe and Alexander as they descended the steps, then turned


    their gaze toward Deborah.


    For a moment, they were at a loss for words.


    “What’s wrong?”


    As the two walked closer, they noticed everyone staring at them with peculiar expressions. Unable


    to hold herself back, Isabe had to ask.


    Ines was always the most straightforward. Unable to contain her excitement, she blurted out, “Be,


    was it you who worked your magic today?”


    Isabe was stunned.


    Aiden chuckled. “Be careful. What if Clifford snaps back to reality andes looking for trouble with


    you? Hahaha.


    Isabe caught on, realizing that they were only joking around.

    However, she really didn’t stir up any trouble with this matter. She just happened to know some


    information ahead of time and was just sitting back and watching how things yed out.


    Isabe looked like she had been used. “It really has nothing to do with me.”


    Finished


    Ines and Aiden both wore teasing expressions, expressing their disbelief. They once again


    emphasized their hope that she would attend Aiden’s father’s umpteenth wedding in the future.


    Rnd cleared his throat, signaling them to tone down their chatter. They were too oblivious to the


    fact that Deborah might mind these metaphysical things.


    However, if it really was a matter of metaphysics, then Rnd was genuinely grateful to Isabe.


    Naturally, he thought it was all just a coincidence. Isabe had always been fond of gossiping and


    was drawn to the buzz of activity.


    Alexander also reacted. He turned his gaze toward Deborah.


    Deborah was rather forthright, saying, “If it really has something to do with you, ine should give


    you a big reward. However, my engagement party is about to begin. I should be on guard.”


    Everyone paused, feeling a bit awkward. They assumed that Deborah really took it to heart.


    “My fiancé has quite a bad past. I don’t really care, as long as it doesn’t cause any scandal that


    would prevent our families from working together. So, our Angel of Justice, let’s try to keep things


    under wraps, shall we?”


    Deborah’s pitch became higher as she spoke, indicating that she was deliberately joking.


    There was a sense of triumphant justice in all the previous gossip. But such a notion of justice didn’t


    exist between her and her fiancé, Oliver. Even if Isabe discovered something terrible or


    scandalous, there was no need for her to stand up for Deborah.


    She simply didn’t care. She had agreed to the marriage alliance as her family promised to let her


    pursue her own passions. Since she was unable to contribute to the family business, yet had


    reaped the benefits of her family for so many years, it was only natural for her to pay a price.


    She felt it was a fair trade. It was a marriage alliance in exchange for an unhindered pursuit of her


    dreams.


    Anyway, she had absolutely no interest in matters of romance.


    Upon hearing Deborah’s rare attempt at humor, everyoneughed.


    Only Damien’s expression began to grow increasinglyplex.


    The cars came gradually to pick them up.


    In the end, only Damien, Isabe, and Alexander were left.


    Damien watched as their car arrived. Impulsively taking a step forward, he looked at Isabe. It


    seemed that he wanted to say something, but was hesitating


    “Is there something you need?” asked Alexander.


    When Isabe looked over, it seemed as if Damien had suddenly snapped back to reality. A look of


    panic

    shed in his eyes and his jaw clenched tightly, yet he remained silent.


    Finished


    Isabe raised an eyebrow. With an inscrutable expression, she asked, “Don’t tell me you’re worried


    about the uing engagement party too? Are you afraid that I’ll ruin the bright future of Oliver


    and Deborah?”


    Damien looked embarrassed, a hint of self–mockery flickering in his eyes. He found himself


    ridiculous. He was like a desperate man who, upon reaching his wit’s end, was starting to believe in


    deities.


    Just as he was about to deny it, he heard Isabe’s sarcastic remark. “Or perhaps you’re hoping


    that I’ll definitely show up, y my part, and throw the Cagement party into chaos?”
